SLCPs may account for an estimated 40% of global warming, increasing the impacts of climate change. The major sources of methane in California are livestock (~30% of the state’s methane emissions), followed by landfills and oil and gas production. CO 2 remains in the atmosphere for up to a century.

In terms of fuels, 44% of the estimated CO 2 emissions in 2010 came from coal, 36% from oil, and 20% from natural gas. Global leaders agreed a target of limiting temperature increase to 2 °C at the UN climate change talks in Cancun in 2010. Some scientists suggest the level must be even lower—i.e., Earlier post.).
